To be fair a lot of old stand up pianos are simply trashed because no one wants to move them. check your local craigslist and theres probably a few free pianos that require you to move them. Some will even move them for you.
There were a lot of stand up pianos made back in the day when music was how you entertained your family.
Not saying I support it, its ugly as shit, but its not super sacred either.
Edit: dang I just looked it up and its expensive af to get a piano re-strung if the strings go bad from a humid environment or something.
Yeah, its possible it was just a lost cause, maybe a cracked sound board, many broken/rusted strings, a bunch of broken mallets, etc. it probably cost a lot less to bolt a piano to studs than it does restore it.
